I purchased this wine at the winery, and can say it wasn't stored well at times. Still, it was spectacular, and has outdone many older burgundies of the same age. Gorgeous sweet and fresh cherries, mushroom, orange citrus, and cedar with beautiful palate texture and sweetness. Still some bite on the long finish. Quite a surprise.

Wow, probably could have gone a few more years but drinking nicely. Bit of vanilla up front and then opens up into a mouthful of cherry with a hint of berry. finishes with a bit of cedar and chocolate that lingers in the mouth.

I agree with the other CT tn that the fruit seems to be a little bit on the downswing, especially compared to how flamboyant the Argyle fruit can be in its youth. That said, there was still a lot to like here, good pinot spice, velvety texture, medium finish. Drink up soon.

Fruit seems to be fading; drink now. Description from earlier note still holds, although this bottle was much more earthy and had a slightly weedy, green quality.
